How do you disassemble the clamshell that protects wires thru the firewall? Do you use heat? Do you boil it?
thanks

I submerged my bulkhead pass-through in boiling water, but I didn't separate it.
The glue softened enough that I could simply pull wires out / push new wires through, without disassembly.

Some wires are wrapped around the internal clip, so not all wires can simply be pulled out.

I've taken a couple of Fiero ones apart, as well as similar parts for a couple of Caddy harnesses. IIRC, in the ones I've taken apart, there was only one wire wrapped around one tine of the "organizer", I @$$ume to hold it in place while they're potting it.

And if anyone has a part number for these clamshell halves, please spill the beans!

Their "bulkhead" pass through parts.
Is, more likely Was, a GM "Packard" part label w/ PED somewhere and later made by Delphi Spinoff now called Aptiv own by BorgWarner Inc. in the UK.
Delphi.com Won't sell to you and finding a dealer w/ this exact part is unlikely and if you find one that works is often expensive.
GM dealers often can't get these then or now except buying complete harnesses.------------------

The issue is that the part does not have any part number on it.
